Cork 17 ILS performance

Out of curiousity, what was/is the problem with Cork 17 ILS? And how did it demonstrate itself? Did it shut down or alarm; or was it as a result of airborne reports?

Probably totally unrelated but, if I recall correctly, in the early '90s there used to be an occasional anomaly with some smaller Aer Lingus aircraft and traced to the nature of the pre-threshold terrain and auto-pilot gear-change height.

It seems unusual to have outages with modern equipment so no doubt it has aroused interest and possibly concern..

Unless the failing is within the equipment itself which subsequently needs repair or replacement is not the question of priority for recalibration a question within the calibration contract itself rather than with the IAA?

Hope it is sorted, reapproved soon. Even Cat 1 would be a help.
